Black cat howling in the alleyway / the middle of the night, no sign of day... At last, the title track of the album. Sophisticated jazz-blues with very interesting film noir imagery. Slow and sad as a blues should be - where dreams go to die.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Black cat howlin' in the alleyway
Middle of the night, no sign of day,
All alone and I'm about to lose my mind,
On the blue side.

Verse 2:
Shadows hide me for a little while
Searchin' everywhere for that lover's smile
There's no tellin' what you might find
On the blue side.

Bridge:
Stray dog barkin' at nothin' much,
At the wind blowin' through the shadows and such.
Got my collar up against the cold
Here on the blue side with nothin' to hold.

Verse 3:
Sun's comin' up, I can't stand the light
I'll stay in the shadows until tonight
Find a place for my heart to hide
On the blue side
On the blue side
